The Admin talks about our online community

The new server is generally working out just fine, although a few
users are reporting some slowness problems. It might be a web
browser compatibility issue.
Groups 17 (Philadelphia area) and 41 (Miami area) are now
Regionalized on the discussion board!

The new server is working out just wonderfully. It's fast
and stable. The APC opcode cache delivers about four PHP
scripts per second, the MySQL database delivers about four queries
per second, and the Apache web server delivers about 8 KB per
second. Traffic just keeps growing and we're going to be able
to handle it just fine.
Just like Enterprise does whenever a Group gets too big, I've
decided to regionalize Groups 24 and 32 in the discussion board.
See the new regions and jump in and join the discussion! Let
me know if there are other regions that could support their own
forum.

It's been a busy month. First, I got the site transferred
over to a new and much faster server. It's got two Xeon
processors and 12 GB of RAM, although I still have it to share it
with some other people. Nonetheless, pages now load three
times faster than they ever have before and nine times faster than
they did during most of July. I'm hoping to get page loads for
broadband users down to one second, which lets users feel like
they're driving and in control and more likely to visit more pages.
I'm sure sweet on Linux, Virtuozzo, WHM, Cpanel, Apache, MySQL, PHP,
vBulletin and the
APC opcode cache.
With this new hosting plan, I've got 20 GB of hard drive space,
can move 250 GB of data per month, and have easy access to all sorts
of new software (such as a wiki...). Getting up and running on
this new server was a prerequisite to rolling out some new ideas and
functionality.
I've added several updates today, including:
Group 12 now has enough traffic to warrant their own forum.
Failing Enterprise is now over two and a half years old.
Enterprise, with the exception of now posting their Customer Service
number on their web site (Whew! What a battle that was!) has
still refused to budge on anything and obviously keeps hoping that
Failing Enterprise will go away if they pretend to ignore it long
enough.
Let's see how they're holding up after five years.
